Exposure to radio fre-
quency signals

The Safety Connect system
installed in your vehicle is a low-
power radio transmitter and
receiver. It receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF)
signals.

In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for

mobile wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously
set by the following U.S. and
international standards bodies.



ANSI (American National
Standards Institute) C95.1
[1992]



NCRP (National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurement) Report 86
[1986]



ICNIRP (International Com-
mission on Non-Ionizing Radi-
ation Protection) [1996]

Those standards were based on
comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant sci-
entific literature. Over 120 scien-
tists, engineers, and physicians
from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and
industries reviewed the avail-
able body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1).

The design of Safety Connect
complies with the FCC guide-
lines in addition to those stan-
dards.

Gasoline engine

Front electric motor (traction motor)

Rear electric motor (traction motor) (AWD models)

■

When stopped/during start
off

The gasoline engine stops

when the vehicle is stopped.
During start off, the electric
motor (traction motor) drives the
vehicle. At slow speeds or when

traveling down a gentle slope,

the engine is stopped

and the

electric motor (traction motor) is
used.

When the shift position is in N,
the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) is not being charged.

Hybrid system features

Your vehicle is a Hybrid Electric Vehicle. It has characteristics
different from conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely
familiar with the characteristics of your vehicle, and operate it
with care.

The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and
an electric motor (traction motor) according to driving condi-
tions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emis-
sions.

System components

1-4. Hybrid system

For

safety and secu

rity

: When the hybrid battery (traction

battery) requires charging or the
engine is warming up, etc., the
gasoline engine will not automati-
cally stop. (



P.71)

■

During normal driving

The gasoline engine is predomi-
nantly used. The electric motor
(traction motor) charges the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
as necessary.

■

When accelerating sharply

When the accelerator pedal is
depressed heavily, the power of
the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) is added to that of the gas-
oline engine via the electric
motor (traction motor).

■

When braking (regenera-
tive braking)

The wheels operate the electric
motor (traction motor) as a
power generator, and the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is
charged.

■

Regenerative braking

In the following situations, kinetic
energy is converted to electric
energy and deceleration force can
be obtained in conjunction with the
recharging of the hybrid battery
(traction battery).

●

The accelerator pedal is released
while driving with the shift position
in D or B.

●

The brake pedal is depressed
while driving with the shift position
in D or B.

■

EV indicator

The EV indicator comes on when

the vehicle is driven using only the
electric motor (traction motor) or the
gasoline engine is stopped.

The on/off operation of the EV indi-
cator can be changed. (



P.96)

■

Conditions in which the gaso-
line engine may not stop

The gasoline engine starts and
stops automatically. However, it
may not stop automatically in the
following conditions

●

During gasoline engine warm-up

●

During hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) charging

●

When the temperature of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
high or low

●

When the heater is switched on

: Depending on the circumstances,

the gasoline engine may also not
stop automatically in other situa-
tions.

■

Charging the hybrid battery
(traction battery)

As the gasoline engine charges the
hybrid battery (traction battery), the
battery does not need to be charged
from an outside source. However, if
the vehicle is left parked for a long
time the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) will slowly discharge. For this
reason, be sure to drive the vehicle
at least once every few months for
at least 30 minutes or 10 miles (16
km). If the hybrid battery (traction
battery) becomes fully discharged
and you are unable to start the
hybrid system, contact your Toyota
dealer.

1-4. Hybrid system

■

Charging the 12-volt battery



P.510

■

After the 12-volt battery has dis-
charged or when the terminal
has been removed and installed
during exchange, etc.

The gasoline engine may not stop
even if the vehicle is being driven by
the hybrid battery (traction battery).
If this continues for a few days, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.

■

Sounds and vibrations specific
to a Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Because there is no engine sound
or vibration, it is easy to mistake the
hybrid vehicle for being off when it is
actually still running, as indicated by
the “READY” indicator being illumi-
nated. For safety, make sure to
always shift the shift position to P
and apply the parking brake when
parked.

The following sounds or vibrations
may occur when the hybrid system
is operating and are not a malfunc-
tion:

●

Motor sounds may be heard from
the engine compartment.

●

Sounds may be heard from the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
under the rear seats when the
hybrid system starts or stops.

●

Relay operating sounds such as a
snap or soft clank will be emitted
from the hybrid battery (traction
battery), under the rear seats,
when the hybrid system is started
or stopped.

●

Sounds from the hybrid system
may be heard when the back door
is open.

●

Sounds may be heard from the
transmission when the gasoline
engine starts or stops, when driv-
ing at low speeds, or during idling.

●

Engine sounds may be heard
when accelerating sharply.

●

Sounds may be heard due to
regenerative braking when the

brake pedal is depressed or as
the accelerator pedal is released.

●

Vibration may be felt when the
gasoline engine starts or stops.

●

Cooling fan sounds may be heard
from the air intake vent under the
rear seat.

■

Maintenance, repair, recycling,
and disposal

Contact your Toyota dealer regard-
ing maintenance, repair, recycling
and disposal. Do not dispose of the
vehicle yourself.

When driving with the gasoline
engine stopped, a sound, which
changes in accordance with the
driving speed, will be played in
order to warn people nearby of
the vehicle’s approach. The
sound will stop when the vehicle
speed exceeds approximately
22 mph (35 km/h).

■

Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys-
tem

In the following cases, the Acoustic
Vehicle Alerting System may be dif-
ficult for surrounding people to hear.

●

In very noisy areas

●

In the wind or the rain

Also, as the Acoustic Vehicle Alert-
ing System is installed on the front
of the vehicle, it may be more diffi-
cult to hear from the rear of the vehi-
cle compared to the front.

: This function can only be used in

the mainland U.S.A. It cannot be
used in other states and territo-
ries, including Alaska and Hawaii.

This system operates based on
the driving situation and traffic
information to enhance fuel
economy.

For details about Predictive effi-
cient drive, refer to “MULTIME-
DIA OWNER’S MANUAL”.

■

Predictive deceleration sup-
port



When the vehicle approaches
to predictive deceleration sup-
port points registered in the
navigation system, the “Refer-

ence operation range” (

) of

the ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance (



P.93) on the multi-

information display will be
turned off to encourage the
driver to reduce excessive
acceleration.



The engine braking force will
be increased according to the
driving conditions to more effi-
ciently charge the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) after the
accelerator pedal is released.

■

Predictive SOC

control

The following types of control
are performed based on data
such as road and traffic informa-
tion during route guidance by
the navigation system to help
ensure that the vehicle effi-
ciently uses electricity.



When there is a long downhill
slope along the route, the sys-
tem reduces the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) level
before reaching the slope to
help ensure charging capacity
for regenerative braking while
traveling downhill.



When traffic congestion is
predicted along the route, the
system helps ensure a certain
battery level before reaching
congested roads to reduce
the frequency of starting the
engine to charge the hybrid
battery (traction battery) due
to low battery levels.

Running out of fuel

When the vehicle has run out of fuel

and the hybrid system cannot be

started, refuel the vehicle with at

least enough gasoline to make the

low fuel level warning light (



P.471)

go off. If there is only a small

amount of fuel, the hybrid system

may not be able to start. (The stan-

dard amount of fuel is about 2.3 gal.

[8.8 L, 1.9 Imp.gal.], when the vehi-

cle is on a level surface. This value

may vary when the vehicle is on a

slope. Add extra fuel when the vehi-

cle is inclined.)

■

Electromagnetic waves

●

High voltage parts and cables on

Hybrid Electric Vehicles incorpo-

rate electromagnetic shielding,

and therefore emit approximately

the same amount of electromag-

netic waves as conventional gaso-

line powered vehicles or home

electronic appliances.

●

Your vehicle may cause sound

interference in some third party-

produced radio parts.

■

Hybrid battery (traction battery)

The hybrid battery (traction battery)

has a limited service life. The lifes-

pan of the hybrid battery (traction

battery) can change in accordance

with driving style and driving condi-

tions.

■

Starting the hybrid system in an

extremely cold environment

When the hybrid battery (traction

battery) is extremely cold (below

approximately -22°F [-30°C]) under

the influence of the outside tem-

perature, it may not be possible to

start the hybrid system. In this case,

try to start the hybrid system again

after the temperature of the hybrid

battery increases due to the outside

temperature increase etc.

WARNING

■

High voltage precautions

This vehicle has high voltage DC

and AC systems as well as a 12-

volt system. DC and AC high volt-

age is very dangerous and can

cause severe burns and electric

shock that may result in death or

serious injury.

●

Never touch, disassemble,

remove or replace the high volt-

age parts, cables or their con-

nectors.

●

The hybrid system will become

hot after starting as the system

uses high voltage. Be careful of

both the high voltage and the

high temperature, and always

obey the warning labels

attached to the vehicle.

●

Never try to open the service

plug access hole located under-

neath the rear seats. The ser-

vice plug is used only when the

vehicle is serviced and is sub-

ject to high voltage.

■

Road accident cautions

Observe the following precautions

to reduce the risk of death or seri-

ous injury:

●

Stop the vehicle in a safe place

to prevent subsequent acci-

dents. While depressing the

brake pedal, apply the parking

brake and shift the shift position

to P to stop the hybrid system.

Then, slowly release the brake

pedal.

1-4. Hybrid system

WARNING

●

Do not touch the high voltage

parts, cables and connectors.

●

If electric wires are exposed

inside or outside your vehicle,

an electric shock may occur.

Never touch exposed electric

wires.

●

Do not touch the battery if liquid

is leaking from or adhering to it.

If electrolyte (carbonic-based

organic electrolyte) from the

hybrid battery (traction battery)

comes into contact with the

eyes or skin, it could cause

blindness or skin wounds. In the

unlikely event that it comes into

contact with the eyes or skin,

wash it off immediately with a

large amount of water, and seek

immediate medical attention.

●

If electrolyte is leaking from the

hybrid battery (traction battery),

do not approach the vehicle.

Even in the unlikely event that

the hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery) is damaged, the internal

construction of the battery will

prevent a large amount of elec-

trolyte from leaking out. How-

ever, any electrolyte that does

leak out will give off a vapor.

This vapor is an irritant to skin

and eyes and could cause acute

poisoning if inhaled.

●

Do not bring burning or high-

temperature items close to the

electrolyte.

The electrolyte may ignite and

cause a fire.

●

If a fire occurs in the Hybrid

Electric Vehicle, leave the vehi-

cle as soon as possible. Never

use a fire extinguisher that is

not meant for electric fires.

Using even a small amount of

water may be dangerous.

●

If your vehicle needs to be

towed, do so with four wheels

raised. If the wheels connected

to the electric motor (traction

motor) are on the ground when

towing, the motor may continue

to generate electricity. This may

cause a fire. (



P.458)

●

Carefully inspect the ground

under the vehicle. If you find

that liquid has leaked onto the

ground, the fuel system may

have been damaged. Leave the

vehicle as soon as possible.

■

Hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery)

●

Your vehicle contains a sealed

lithium-ion battery.

●

Never resell, hand over or mod-

ify the hybrid battery. To prevent

accidents, hybrid batteries that

have been removed from a dis-

posed vehicle are collected

through Toyota dealer. Do not

dispose of the battery yourself.

Unless the battery is properly col-

lected, the following may occur,

resulting in death or serious

injury:
• The hybrid battery may be ille-

gally disposed of or dumped,

and it is hazardous to the envi-

ronment or someone may touch

a high voltage part, resulting in

an electric shock.

• The hybrid battery is intended to

be used exclusively with your

Hybrid Electric Vehicle. If the

hybrid battery is used outside of

your vehicle or modified in any

way, accidents such as electric

shock, heat generation, smoke

generation, an explosion and

electrolyte leakage may occur.

1-4. Hybrid system

For
safety and secu

rity

There is an air intake vent under

the left side of the rear seat with

the purpose of cooling the

hybrid battery (traction battery).
If the vent is blocked, it may

interfere with the cooling of the

hybrid battery (traction battery).
If input/output of the hybrid bat-

tery (traction battery) becomes

limited and the distance that the

vehicle can be driven using the

electric motor (traction motor) is

reduced, the fuel economy may

be reduced.

WARNING

When reselling or handing over

your vehicle, the possibility of an

accident is extremely high

because the person receiving the

vehicle may not be aware of these

dangers.

●

If your vehicle is disposed of

without the hybrid battery hav-

ing been removed, there is a

danger of serious electric shock

if high voltage parts, cables and

their connectors are touched. In

the event that your vehicle must

be disposed of, the hybrid bat-

tery must be disposed of by

your Toyota dealer or a qualified

service shop. If the hybrid bat-

tery is not disposed of properly,

it may cause electric shock that

can result in death or serious

injury.

WARNING

■

If a safety system warning

light does not come on

Should a safety system light such

as the ABS and SRS warning light

not come on when you start the

hybrid system, this could mean

that these systems are not avail-

able to help protect you in an acci-

dent, which could result in death

or serious injury. Have the vehicle

inspected by your Toyota dealer

immediately if this occurs.

Shows regeneration

status. Regen-

erated energy will be used to charge
the hybrid battery (traction battery).

Eco area

Shows that the vehicle is being
driven in an Eco-friendly manner.

By keeping the indicator needle
within Eco area, more Eco-friendly
driving can be achieved.

Power area

Shows that an Eco-friendly driving
range is being exceeded (during full
power driving etc.)

Hybrid Eco area

Shows that gasoline engine power
is not being used very often.

The gasoline engine will automati-
cally stop and restart under various
conditions.

: When used in this manual, “regen-

eration” refers to the conversion of
energy created by the movement
of the vehicle into electrical
energy.

In the following situation, the Hybrid
System Indicator does not operate.

●

“READY” indicator is not illumi-
nated.

●

The shift position is in a range
other than D or B.

■

Distance to empty

●

This distance is computed based

2-1. Instrument cluster

on your average fuel consump-

tion. As a result, the actual dis-

tance that can be driven may

differ from that displayed.

●

When only a small amount of fuel

is added to the tank, the display

may not be updated. When refuel-

ing, turn the power switch off. If

the vehicle is refueled without

turning the power switch off, the

display may not be updated.

●

When “Refuel” is displayed, the

remaining fuel amount is low and

the distance that can be driven

with the remaining fuel cannot be

calculated. Refuel immediately.

■

Outside temperature display

●

Displays the outside temperature

within the range of -40°F (-40°C)

to 140°F (60°C).

●

When the outside temperature is

approximately 37°F (3°C) or
lower, the indicator

will flash

for approximately 10 seconds,

then stay on.

●

In the following situations, the cor-

rect outside temperature may not

be displayed, or the display may

take longer than normal to

change.

• When stopped, or driving at low

speeds (less than 12 mph [20

km/h])

• When the outside temperature

has changed suddenly (at the

entrance/exit of a garage, tunnel,

etc.)

●

When “--” or “E” is displayed, the

system may be malfunctioning.

Take your vehicle to your Toyota

dealer.
